This pocket-sized gadget takes the guesswork out of matching colors

Our world is a colorful oneand not just in the metaphorical sense. It's filled with vibrant, lush colors that many of us would like to replicate when it comes time to repaint a room or design a website. Of course, as any designer will tell you, matching colors with just the human eye takes a lot of guesswork and can often end with mixed results. TheNix Mini Color Sensor removes this gambling from the color-matching process, and it's on sale in the Boing Boing Store for $69.
